Burnout with commitment.And when that formula inevitably collapses, we blameourselves.This conversation pulls the curtain back on how wellnessculture and leadership norms quietly condition women to override their bodies in the name of “doing it right.” Together, Dina and Courtney reframe consistency not as white-knuckled control - but as self-trust. Not as rule-following - but as self-honoring.This is not an episode about food plans, habit hacks, orfitness routines.It’s about authority. Agency.
